Photos Of The Giant Valentine Can Win A Free Flight

Airship Ventures sent hearts soaring above LA with a Valentine's makeover and special flights of the world's largest airship, Eureka.  The zeppelin has been sporting a three-story heart on her envelope since February 5 to promote the events.

The lovebird packages made good sense to the husband and wife team that founded Airship Ventures in 2007.  The couple has seen a lot of customers on their zeppelin in its first year of operation in the US and says love tops the list of reasons to fly.

"Romance is among the most popular reasons people climb aboard Eureka-- first dates, anniversaries, proposals, weddings, you name it, we've celebrated them all on board," noted Airship Ventures CEO Alexandra Hall. "We wanted to show some love to Southern California, as well as remind locals that whether they are popping the question, renewing vows or just toasting the town with their sweetheart, we're here to help them make their Valentine's heart soar."

The Valentine's Day flight options ranged from "fun and flirty" 30 minute voyages to "long-term commitment" 2-hour sunset and coastal tours. Every romantic journey included a champagne toast and spectacular views of Southern California aboard the only zeppelin operating in the US.

While lovebirds soar, airship aficionados on the ground are invited to capture the love on camera for a chance to win a flight. Photographers of the top-3 heart-filled images of the Zeppelin flying above Southern California will each win a pair of tickets to fly aboard Eureka.  Shutterbugs can track Eureka at the Airship Ventures Web site.  The deadline for submitting photos to the contest is February 19.
